Class Notes on Unit Operations of Chemical Engineering by Dennis C. Prieve

Class Notes on Unit Operations of Chemical Engineering by Dennis C. Prieve, made available to students of 06-202 in the Department of Chemical Engineering, Carnegie Mellon University, Spring 2000

This is a unique monograph by the late Professor Dennis Prieve who was strongly committed to excellence in both teaching and research. He was well known for thorough and meticulously composed lecture notes, particularly for the course on unit operations. Prieve's "Class Notes on Unit Operations of Chemical Engineering" are essentially a textbook that has been successfully used for many years at Carnegie Mellon for both the unit operations course and the chemical process systems design course.
